PhilB66:
PastIconsFlusher (scroll down to bottom of page) does the same as "Remove Past Items From Notification Area" script.

PastIconsFlusher is a tiny open-source program which quickly and effectively clears the Past Notifications Area in the Customize Notifications area in Windows XP and Windows Vista. It does this by deleting two registry keys and restarting Windows Explorer; this is done in as safe a manner as possible.

The second script will hide/unhide "Inactive Icons" in the "Notification Area"

Should doubt and trepidation overcome you, concerning using those excellent scripts, an alternate or two for your consideration:

Was just trying to ease your concern about running the scripts.

siouxdax:
PhilB66: Thank you very much for your consideration. I'm not computer illiterate, but I know very little about the nuts-and-bolts end of things. I heard somewhere that running scripts was bad juju, but then they may have been full of s**t.

I did notice, however, that the "save settings and exit" on line 54 is a bad link. It just took me to some random looking page, but then that may have been a script in disguise. LOL.

If I set a system restore point prior to running the script(s), would that keep things safe, just in case?
